I dunno if she “runs New York,” but Angel Haze certainly shows more speed to her flow and punch to her lines than a lot of other femcees that have been making noise this year. You hear that at 2:21? Dang? REWIND! Hopefully, this is the start of a
Presented by the Creator’s Project, here’s a new video for the Grizzly bear track “Yet Again,” which comes off the band’s latest LP, Shields. Check a review of it here. Historically, Grizzly Bear videos haven’t exactly sat all to well withe me. The claymation on “Ready,
Some trippy, eye-massaging visuals from the new Matthew Dear album, Beams. The track featured above is “Earthforms,” which is one of the catchier tracks off the album that I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED. Peace to Morgan Beringer for creating the video.

Virginia’s grind veterans Pig Destroyer are firing on all cylinders after almost five years of relative silence. “Burning Palm” is the first song released for the excellent Book Burner, which comes out October 22nd on Relapse Records. In many ways, it’s an excellent preview of what’s to
